David, the bubble boy; Life inside a bubble



David Vetter lived his whole 12 years
in sterile “bubble”. He was “outside”
less than 10 second after being
removed from his mother’s womb. He
never touched any human.

David Vetter became famous for living
in a sterile environment. He was born
with severe combined
immunodeficiency (SCID), a disorder
that causes the immune system to not
work. Because of this, exposure to any
germs could prove fatal. He was called
"David, the bubble boy" by the news
media.
